Archbishop Williams of Boston is said
to be a favorite at the Vatican. He is
not much of a pulpit orator, but ne is
decidedly the best business man in the
hierarchy. In business circles at the
ssHubn he is well known. He has past
all his life in that vicinity, and he is
thoroughly familiar with it. He is es-
pecially noted for his knowledge of
real estate matter. 1t is said that he
has made hundreds of thousands of
dollars for his diocese by investments
in the suburbs of Boston. To-day his
diocese is the richest in this country
although when he put his hand to the
helm it was largely III debt.
& On account of the financial difficult
ties of many dioceses in this country,

favor at Rome and Archbishop Will

The Pleasures Of Home.

When husband and wife are true
hearted there is no greater aid to hap
piness than a few deprivations and
hardships in the commencement OF
their married life. It's a great thing
for each to realize that he or she is sac
ri6cing something for the other. The
wife came with empty hands to him
who had no rich gifts to bestow; but
VI nile she is struggling and saving, and
ne is toiling and denying himself, the
CONSCIOUSNESS of doing it for the others
sake confers happiness nothing can
equal.
1t will be in more prosperous days
alone, perhaps, that both will realize
the pleasures Of the poverty they en-
aured in youth! In that grand new
b use there is nothing lacking that
taste can devise or wealth car procure.

to yield butter by the process else- where in vogue, and it is therefore boiled and put aside to "set," small piece of butter or 8 teaspoonful of buttermilk being added to it. In from six to twelve hours a white acid mass is formed, which is mixed with water, and churned until the butter separates. The organisms seem to be introduced partly by the water and partly by the stale butter or buttermilk added to the boiled milk. The micro-f fungi are probably developed from the butter or buttermilk, which really acts as ferment, while even diatoms and infu- soria come from the water.

 COME AND SEE MY DOG.
BY HAL BERTE.

When you have a spare half hour and want real treat, come and see my dog-my unique, unapproachable canine, Pinch; so called, by the way, because he is up to snuff. Let me know, however, the exact min- ute you expect to sight my ranche, so that 1 may stand on the thres- hold, gun in hand, to stifie the emotions of my faithful beast in case he should express desire to en- brace you with his teeth. But do not let any such remote possibility deter you, for should you by any chance be bitten, I will gladly defray your ex- penses to Paris in order that you may be inoculated by M. Pasteur. All my family are there.
 Do come and see my dog; you will never have such chance again. Bear in mind, he is no common plebeian cur without pedigree. The man of W hom purchased him told me that he had no end of pedigrees-swarmed with them-but am afraid that man did not know the precise meaning of the word pedigree and labored under the impression that it was some kind of insect. If so, the dog is exactly what he was represented to be. He is a pointer by breed. 1 told the man he looked more like mastitf, but he said Not pointer? Look at his points, , and that settled it. 1 had not the heart to dispute the matter with hin fto,. cfx that. The man also said he was play full animal, and that it was his trait i; in fact, at one time he thought of call ing the dog Tray for that reason. In this respect the man was right. There is no limit to the brute's play fulness. The first day had him he played fast and loose; he played so loose that 1 have never been able to catch him to tie him up since. That is why I have previously spoken of him as unapproachable. All night he sat in the back yard and played the co,net- C. piston, at least, that is what my neighbor Brown said it was, but think somehow Brownmust have con- fused my maiden efforts on the cornet Il am learning to manipulate that instrument-with the dog's nocturnal howls.
 Pinch is rare dog for vermin, es- pecially chickens. 1 have before me as write a twenty-five dollar bill which shall have to pay because of my dog's fondness for my neighbours vermin.
 Come and see my dog and bring your dog, so that we may get up a fight. Perhaps your dog will kill mine. If he does, I will not repine, but will buy me another animal-a china dog, with no pedigree, playful ness, traits or teeth.

Howells' First Literary Venture.
Wm. H. Rldeing, in St. Nicholas 8.


 MT. Howells was born March 1, 1887. at Martins Ferry, Ohio, oppo- site Wheeling, w. Va. His father was of Welsh descent, his mother of Ger man stock, and beth were superior by education and tastes to the moderate circumstances in which they found themselves when this boy, who was one of eight children, came into the world. When he was only three years old, they left Martins Ferry to live in Hamilton, Ohio, and then the father bought and edited the Lntelli- gencer, weekly newspaper, and his son was scarcely out of his cradle be- fore he learned to set type. He had little regular schooling, but he was a great reader and had a natural gift for composition. He does not remember how young he was when he mastered the mysteries ot the printers trade, but it was certainly long before he was twelve.
 There were leisure moments between the working hours, and he occupied these in printing compositions of his OWu. AlOWCNCI pLCCOCIOub tHcy Hlhy be, few young authors see their work immortalized by the dignity and per- manence of type before they reach their teens; but when this lad was only eleven, he set up and printed an ambitious work of his own. A thor oughbred is not less fearless of ditch and hedge than the budding author is of his theme. MT. Howells is called a "realist" now he writes about men and women as they are, and will have neither villains of deep dye nor para gons of virtue in his stories; for he believes that good and evil are mixed in all of us. But he was of different mind when he wore a white apron and stood before the printers case, with its alphabetical compartments full of little metal letters. He boldly launched out then, not in any cockle- shell of rhyme, but in five-act verse tragedy and it should be needless to say that the subject was the death of a Roman emperor. Such ventures carry too much sail for their ballast, and, like other lightly laden ships, this has not been heard from since.

Matthew Arnold Surprised.

MT. Matthew Arnold was greatly struck, says the Boston Herald, by the democratic government of our read ing rooms when in Boston. He en- tered reading room one day, and saw a small, barefooted newsboy sit ting in one of the best chairs, enjoy ing himself to the utmost. The great essayist was amazed, and asked: Do you let barefooted boys in this read ing-room? You wouldsnever see such sight as that in Europe. I do not believe there is a reading room in all Europe in which that boy, dressed as he is, could enter"
 Then MT. Arnold went over to the boy, engaged him in conversation, and found that he was reading "The Life of Washington" and that he was a young gentleman of decidedly anti British tendencies, and, for his age, remarkably we'll informed.
 MT. Arnold remained talking with the youngster for some time, and, as he came away, he said: "I do not think l have been so impressed with anything else that I have seen since arriving in this country as am now with meeting this barefooted boy in the reading room.
 "What tribute to democratic in- stitutions it is to say that, instead of sending that boy out to wander alone in the streets, they permit him to come in here and excite his youthful imagination by reading such a book as the Life of Washington
 "The reading of that one book may change the whole course of that boys life, and may be the means of making him useful, honorable, worthy citi- zen of this country. It is, tell you, a sight that impresses European not accustomed to your democratic ways.n

Blasting Speculation.

Next to the evils flowing from the saloon and brothel, no influence is more blasting to OUT New England life than the infatu- atiOn of speculation in Wall street It is an insidious influence, too, that invades the home, the church pew and positions of public trust, as all know who read the papers ol.keep their eyes open. It is an iniquity worse, if possible, than gambling with ca ds, dice or games of chance, for 1t not only leads its infatuated victim to stake his own fortune, but whatever his financial standing enables him to borrow 1 of friends or neighbors. Lured on by chance successes, the poor sptculatOr dives to deeper. surer doom. As soon remon- strate with the adamantine granite on its 1 hardness, as with him on the dangers of | his course, for he is spell bound. The | kindest hearts, the nobest souls are en- gulfed in this maelstrom. The uncertain- ties of life seem to breed a love of chance and venture in the human heart, to which speculation gives ruinous bent. The world applauds your successful Jay Gould, but kicks the luckless lamb from which he has torn it's fleece. The prin- ciple of the thing, however, lies deeper than success or failure and is as discredit- able and dangerous in gain as in loss h. deed, loss may be the very providence tc strip off the glamour with which the Dev-
 il invests this iniquity and restore Judg
 ment to it's throne of reason and common
 sense. It is the same unappeasible hun
 ger after large gains which floats rolling
 takes patience, industry and self denial tc build up prosperity as the fathers did by slow degrees, but they are the safes
 and surest virtues for every young man l and old one too. to tic mp to.
